DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
OF THE AIRPLANE AND ITS SYSTEMS
7.1 THE AIRPLANE
The Cherokee Warrior II is a single-engine, fixed gear monoplane of all metal construction with low
semi-tapered wings. It has four place seating and a two hundred pound baggage capacity.
7.3 AIRFRAME
The primary structure, with the exception of the steel tube engine mount, steel landing gear struts and
isolated areas, is of aluminum alloy construction. Fiberglass and thermoplastic are used extensively in the
extremities - the wing tips, the engine cowling, etc. - and in nonstructural components throughout the
airplane.
The fuselage is a conventional semi-monocoque structure. On the right side of the airplane is a cabin
door for entrance and exit and a baggage door to provide loading into the 24 cubic foot compartment.
The wing is a conventional semi-tapered design incorporating a laminar flow, NACA 65
2
415, airfoil
section. The cantilever wings are attached to each side of the fuselage by insertion of the butt ends of the
main spars into a spar box carry-through which is an integral part of the fuselage structure. The spar box
carry-through structure, located under the rear seat, provides in effect a continuous main spar with splices
at each side of the fuselage. There are also fore and aft attachments at the rear and at an auxiliary front
spar.
